Importance of Modern Instrumentation and Automatic Control in Treating Industrial Wastes FRANK L. MASCITTI Industry Engineer Water Works and Sewage Department Industrial Division Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Were it possible to examine the many continuous processing industries in use today in the same manner as a jeweler inspects a many- faceted stone, it would be noted that there are numerous factors which have contributed to their phenomenal expansion. One of the most significant factors is the advancement made in the field of instrumentation and automatic controls as applied to key processes. The treatment of industrial wastes, representing a national problem which is being attacked by more and more companies dependent upon continuous processing, presents essentially the identical operating problems as continuous processing itself, namely, efficient economic operation, a rigid enforcement of safety regulations, and over-all process characteristics. In step with the progressive efforts put forth by many companies with the expenditure of appreciable sums of money and the construction of modern treatment installations, growing recognition is being given to the importance of modern instrumentation and automatic control components. This paper highlights the benefits derived from the proper application of modern instrumentation to waste treatment. Instrumentation may be considered that subject which treats with the application, and installation of industrial instruments to a process. Instruments is a term used broadly to encompass devices designed for converting measurements of physical or chemical conditions into recording and/or controlling end results. With reference to the actual processes or methods designed for the treating of industrial wastes including the discharge of municipal sewerage systems, streams or ground waters, one basic and predominant object is dealt with when treating the nuisances present in polluted waters. Instrumentation fulfills a significant function in all methods of waste disposal.
